There's a better word for what I am: an apatheist.
It's a neologism that fuses "apathy" and "theism." It means someone who has absolutely no interest in the question of a god's (or gods') existence, and is just as uninterested in telling anyone else what to believe.

pizza sutra, part 1

Comparing Rome to the United States of America , is like comparing Led Zeppelin to the Stone Temple Pilots. The U.S. A is an imperial force , today. Right? For what- a coupla decades or so? Well hey, before us England ruled most of the world. Deutschland tried. Napolean and his minions gave it a go. And so. Hiitites, Egyptians, Mongols, twas the Romans had the best run! Romans invented highways(sic.AppianWay), bathtubs, parliametary governance ,decent sandals and seige strategies and provocative recipies like "Lark tongues in aspic." Did they invent fast-food as well? Probably, though i doubt it would favor our modern palates...Mind you, terrorism during 1 AD was something to be contended with! For example- Huns, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Gauls, Picts, Britons, Teutons, Vikings. These chaps put Al-Queda to shame! Did they have pizza delivery in ancient Rome? Probly not, but I do! -as i am of hunnishvisiostrogallicpictishteuto-viking ancestry. My ancestors sacked Rome. And thanks to their battle-hammers and swords, we have pizza-delivery today.
